Phys.org / Cities rethink beekeeping as honeybee boom may strain wild bees
The rising popularity of urban beekeeping has raised concerns about honeybee well-being and the impact they might have on wild bee populations in cities. A collaborative study by beekeepers, political stakeholders and research ...
Tech Xplore / Why pedestrian deaths keep rising: AI spots rare crash patterns where targeted fixes could save lives
On average, car crashes cause more than 40,000 deaths per year in the United States. Technologies like seat belts, advanced airbags, and automated braking systems have improved car driver and passenger safety, but pedestrian ...
Phys.org / Archaeologists at Pompeii use AI to reconstruct the face of a man killed in the volcano's eruption
Archaeologists and researchers at the ancient Roman site of Pompeii have used artificial intelligence for the first time to digitally reconstruct the face of a man killed in the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius that smothered ...
Phys.org / US–Indian space mission maps extreme subsidence in Mexico City
One of the most powerful radar systems ever launched into space has mapped the ground moving beneath one of the fastest subsiding capitals in the world: Mexico City. The findings show how quickly and reliably the NISAR (NASA-ISRO ...
Medical Xpress / Cold skin, hot heart, one gene: Hidden temperature switch decides where disease appears
The saying "cold hands, warm heart" is usually meant metaphorically—but new research from UC Davis School of Medicine and collaborating institutions suggests it has a striking biological parallel.
Phys.org / Tiny fossil shells hold two chemical signals that could skew past ocean temperatures
Tiny plankton shells used to reconstruct past polar ocean temperatures may contain two different chemical stories, a new study by iC3 researchers has found. The work shows that Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, a key species in ...
Medical Xpress / An endurance limit that surfaces in punishing races may begin at birth
A new study is raising questions about whether human endurance has biological limits shaped long before adulthood—possibly beginning at birth. Researchers are examining whether birth weight, a known risk factor for disease ...
Medical Xpress / A new algorithm can spot who may be headed for self-harm before warning signs become obvious
Depression, one of the most widespread mental health disorders, is characterized by a persistent low mood and a loss of interest in everyday activities, along with possible sleep disruptions and/or changes in appetite. Some ...
Phys.org / Heat and cold alter how animals fight disease. As the climate changes, this knowledge may be vital
Each animal species has an optimal temperature at which it can metabolize food and its immune system can best fight off pathogens.
Phys.org / Lithium in the Appalachians could replace imports for a century or more, estimates suggest
The southern Appalachians hold an estimated 1.43 million metric tons of lithium oxide, concentrated in the Carolinas, and the northern Appalachians hold an estimated 900,000 metric tons, concentrated in Maine and New Hampshire, ...
Phys.org / RNA-built droplets create customizable organelles inside living cells
Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny organs, or organelles, to carry out vital tasks, including transporting nutrients, removing waste, ...
Tech Xplore / What skills do people need to successfully program with AI?
The new trend of "vibe coding" allows people to program software without writing a single line of code. Now, a new study by ETH Zurich published in the Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing ...
